What it is	You study how to create practical solutions to social problems by combining ideas from business, politics, and social sciences. Unlike a straight business or political science degree, this program intentionally blends entrepreneurship, policy thinking, and community understanding so you can design and launch initiatives that address real needs. It suits people who want to work on social change but also need to understand how organizations, money, and systems actually work.	A Bachelor of Administration or Commerce teaches you core business skills like accounting, finance, management, and human resources, along with how organizations actually operate. The BComm adds a stronger focus on accounting and financial analysis compared to the BAdmin. Both programs include a co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom and paid work at real companies, building experience while you study. This suits people who want practical business skills, like working with numbers or managing people, and who value learning on the job.	This program combines the study of how societies work — through anthropology, politics, and social policy — with practical skills in starting and running social enterprises that solve community problems. Unlike a straight business degree, it focuses specifically on ventures designed for social impact rather than profit alone. It suits people who want to understand social change deeply and turn ideas into real projects that help communities.	A Bachelor of Business Administration is a four-year degree where you study core business concepts like accounting, finance, and marketing, then specialize in areas like human resources or entrepreneurship. This program includes a mandatory co-op work term, so you alternate between classroom learning and paid work experience at a company. It suits students who want practical business skills and real-world workplace exposure alongside theory.
